The Top 6 Calculator Apps For the iPhone

Our recent article on the Top 6 calculator applications for Android has been a great success, and since then we always research on IOS. You asked and we deliver. We have to be Apple's App Store applications for our six favorite calculator for iPhone and iPod touch tried. Since there were large differences in the cost of applications, we use the basic rule is that for applications that seek to cost less than $ 5. In fact, this list has proven to be our favorite iPhone apps-6 Computerless than $ 3.

N. 1 + graphing calculator from xNeat.com

+ Graphing calculator is our choice for the better the calculator application for iPhone. And 'greatest strength is that there are so many different things is good. A button you can switch easily between different Computers ways. These modes are graphic, science, writing, a polynomial calculator linear equations and the Computer. There is still room for improveMent. In particular, we had the scientific calculatorfractions, and that the grapher had trace. But the app is simple and powerful, and the fact that it automatically finds max, min, intercepts, and intersection points pretty much makes up for the lack of trace.

Pros: Handwriting support, graphing scientific, quadratic and cubic solver, systems of linear equations

Cons: Handwriting mode not always accurate, decimals only

Cost: .99

#2 Graphicus by Serafim Chekalkin

We are huge fans of Graphicus. If only every graphing calculator were this easy to use. No need to read the user manual here, just jump right in. Graphicus brings you almost all the information you could want about Cartesian, polar, and parametrics graphs in an incredibly elegant interface. Trace, extrema, inflection points, tangent lines are all readily available with a few taps of your finger. On the downside, there is no simple scientific calculator. It's also a minor bummer that there's no 3D in an app that's 100% focused on graphing, but there's only one app on this list that has 3D.

Pros: Offers everything graphical, intercepts, trace, inflection points, max/min, complete

Cons: Just a grapher

Cost: .99

#3 Symbolic Calculator by Janos Barkai

If you need a CAS for your iPhone, this is the app for you. For those who have used a TI-89, you'll feel right at home with with Symbolic Calculator. The focus of this app is it's computer algebra system, and the interface is pretty easy to use for those familiar with Texas InstruMent's CAS calculators. If you're new to CAS's, just tap the question mark next to a given command, and an example will pop up demonstrating how to use the syntax appropriately. You can also use this app to graph, although it feels a little counter-intuitive until you get the hang of it, and the graphing features are simplistic compared to some of the other apps on this list.

Pros: For a CAS, simple to use, offers example input for each

Cons: Graphing could be nicer, mathprint only after inputting

Cost: $.99

#4 Graph It by Tezmo

Another excellent grapher is Graph It. This is also full featured grapher, which offers the ability to trace, find intercepts, and roots, as well as graph derivatives and integrals. It also offers a full scientific calculator with two-line display. The user interface is ok, but might take some getting used to for some users, particularly for the scientific calculator mode.

Pros: Full featured grapher, also a full scientific calculator

Cons: UI takes a little getting used to

Cost: $.99

#5 Quick graph by Columbiamug

For those in need of a 3D graphing app, Quick Graph is the way to go. There are other positives here too such as a strong user interface, simple to use polar coordinates,and a good 2D graphing interface. Screen caps are another built in feature. The real selling point, though, is the 3D, which is well rendered and even accepts cylindrical and spherical coordinates. It is possible to use this app as a scientific calculator, but the interface feels a little strange.

Pros: Polar and 3D, screen caps of graphs

Cons: No trace features, don't feel designed for non-graphing calculation

Cost: Free

#6 Powerone LE by Infinity Softworks

Not everyone is looking for a fancy grapher. For those looking for a more standard scientific calculator, Powerone LE fits the bill. It's got a very intuitive interface that you'll pick up right away. Powereone also features unit conversion and a currency converter that stays current to international currency exchange rates. Additionally, its got a simple statistics calculator that finds the mean of a series of numbers. It could be better if the scientific features used a two-line interface.

Pros: Easy to use, nice UI, currency/unit converter, stays current, simple statistical analysis

Cons: One line calculation, no graphing

Cost: Free with option to upgrade to more powerful version for .99
